LAKE OF THE WOODS RESORT
Additionally, the resort is a just a mile or so east of The PacificCrest Trail, and it’s situated between two phenomenal wilderness
areas so there’s virtually no limit to what vacationers can do; and
for the more adventurous at heart, a new zip-line complex is
under construction nearby.
The lake was discovered in 1870 when Captain Oliver Applegate
was surveying a new military road to Fort Klamath. In 1871 his
group built the first cabin, and in the late 1800s and early 1900s
travelers to Crater Lake camped along the lakeshore. The resort
was built in the early 1920’s and the first Forest-Service permit
was issued for its operation in 1925. In 2008 Gregory’s partner,
John Doherty, purchased the Lake of the Woods and they’ve
been remodeling and improving the property ever since. Lake of
the Woods Resort operates in a recreational partnership under a
special-use permit with the Fremont-Winema National Forest.
a huge selection,” added Gregory. The Fort Klamath Crooked
Creek hatchery raises trophy trout that are two-year-olds and
can reach from to 16-18 inches long.
There are two restaurants on the property; The Lakehouse
Lodge Restaurant where they just finished a kitchen renovation
that makes it far more efficient. “We serve one of the best fishand chips-dishes I’ve ever tasted and we do a breakfast buffet
every Saturday and Sunday and an evening barbecue buffet
on Saturday with a band playing and bar service on the patio
that draws up to 200-300 people.” Though fish-and-chips
are a favorite, they serve prime rib on Friday night, Saturday
is band and barbecue, and on Sunday night they prepare a
spaghetti buffet to keep the menu more affordable. There is
also a pizza parlor and grill down by the lake so guests can
call in their orders and pick up their food when they come
off the lake. So all in all, Lake of the Woods truly does have
something for everybody. Please go to their Website for more
information.
REGION 4: CENTRAL SOUTHWEST
Lake of the Woods Resort is the ideal vacation spot to which you
will return every year because of its pristine beauty and the many
recreational opportunities it offers, “Here in southern Oregon
we’re centrally located which is ideal for family getaways. We’re
35 minutes from Klamath Falls, 45 minutes from Medford, an
hour from Jacksonville, 40 minutes from Ashland, and we’re an
hour south of Crater Lake National Park, so we’re in a prime
location for guests to go on day trips,” explained General
Manager George Gregory.
There is a mari na store and 36 boat slips for rental craft such as
paddle boards, peddle boats, pontoon boats, and fishing boats,
plus there is a local fishing-charter operation that guests can
